Premise
Philia the Saint of her kingdom Ziltonia and engaged to the second prince. However, he sold her to the neighboring kingdom of Parnacorta, who lost their own Saint recently. To her shock, Philia finds she has been overworking herself and that a saint truly doesn't need to take care of all of the kingdom's problems; unless consulted.
Back in Ziltonia, the country has started falling apart as no one has actually needed to due to their jobs properly as Philia was doing too much. Doom is creeping closer for them.
A ridiculously competent Saint who pretty much ran Ziltonia by covering for all the issues. Having never been given emotional support by her parents, Philia is stoic but compassionate. Always working too hard, Philia never had time for hobbies nor preference; she just ate and slept robotically.
After turning herself into the core of a barrier to repel demons, Philia spends her time training the next Saint of Parnacorta.
Younger sister of Philia and less experienced Saint. She worships her sister and loathes Julius along with her parents for how poorly they have treated Philia. To get revenge on the, Mia fakes accepting his marriage proposal; part of her plan to force the first prince into taking the throne.
She experiences the pathetic side of Julius when he cowers accompanying her on an excursion that results in demons attacking.
Second prince with a hobby of farming. He tries to befriend Philia and help her open up; seeing she needs to experience what it actually means to live her life.
The second prince. Simply put he is a selfish, petty, manchild; not even being aware that Philia did most of the work for the entirety of the kingdom and that Mia is inadequate to properly replace her.
He sold off Philia because her medicine was healing his father; wishing for him and his brother to die, so he can rule unopposed. Just a short time after Philia is gone, the kingdom begins falling apart; he has no clue how to run it.
Maid assigned to Philia in Parnacorta. She has combat experience with knives. Lina lends Philia books to help her learn how to interact with other people.
Butler assigned to Philia in Parnacorta. Much like Lina, he is shocked that his mistress has no concept of proper rest and overworked herself before moving to Parnacorta.
Another servant assigned to Philia. Himari is a ninja with excellent stealth skills. Philia asked her to look after Mia; resulting in Himari helping Mia with her revenge plans.
